Irish Coast Guard Helicopter Visit

After our 6th Class Graduation  on Friday, June 16th, the children of Ardrahan National School got a wonderful surprise when they were asked to line up near the pitch to await a surprise. We were very privileged to have the Irish Coast Guard visit the school in one of their search and rescue helicopters. The helicopter landed on the pitch and the children were given treated to an indepth talk by the crew on their lives as members of the Irish Coast Guard search and rescue team. As the photos show, it was a very exciting morning for everyone.

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day was a truly special occasion at our school, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. The children were thrilled to share their classrooms and activities with their grandparents, who brought such warmth and joy to the day. A huge thank you to all the parents who contributed the delicious baked goods—it was a real treat for everyone and added to the festive atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see generations coming together and celebrating the importance of family. We are so grateful for the wonderful community spirit that made the day such a success!

Christmas Wreaths

Fourth Class got into the festive spirit this week by creating beautiful Christmas wreaths to decorate their homes. Using oasis as a base, they carefully arranged holly, ivy, and greenery, finishing with a dusting of snow spray for a magical touch. The children showed fantastic creativity and focus, designing stunning centrepieces to brighten up their kitchen tables over the holidays. Well done to everyone for their hard work and festive flair!
